Five Beacons of Light - World Premiere

This concert features the World Premiere of 'Five Beacons of Light' - a bold new response to the climate emergency, written by award-winning British composer Cheryl Frances-Hoad, with words by Di Sherlock. Inspired by four extraordinary rock lighthouses — symbols of human endurance against overwhelming forces — the work celebrates resilience while demanding action.

Young voices lie at the heart of the piece: passionate, defiant, and fiercely committed to life in all its fragile biodiversity. In the end, it is they who become the true “Beacons of Light”. Performed by the vibrant young voices of Youth Choral Worcs., 130 students and teachers from Worcestershire secondary schools, alongside professional choir Sonoroa and members of the English Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Neil Ferris (co-Artistic Director, Sonoro; Chorus Director, BBC Symphony Chorus).
